About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Summer Reading

The Project by Brian Falkner

Fun, action-packed read. Thoroughly enjoying this one, I'm about two-thirds of the way done and now have to set it down to get some of my chores done, but wanted to give it the thumbs up before I head off to the cabin again. If you're a fan of the Alex Rider series this might be a great choice for you.

Here's the summary from the book jacket:
It begins with a book. The most boring book in the world. A book so boring no one could ever read it - the perfect place to hide a dangerous secret.
When best friends Luke and Tommy voluntyeer to help move books from their library's basement to hight ground during a quick-rising flood, they discover the only surviving copy of the most boring book in the world: Leonardo's River, lost for over a hundred years.
The book is connected to Leonardo da Vinci and is worth millions, but the secret it hides could be world-shattering. After they steal it from the library, dark froces are soon on their tail. Luke and Tommy must unock the mystery first, but with their puruers closing in, the clock is ticking down to the final hour.
